About us

• We develop data applications, create predictive models, build data platforms and design infrastructures. We have a strong focus on technical expertise, a software engineering mindset and way-of-working.
• Knowledge sharing and thought leadership are fundamental pillars of our organization. Every Friday we host knowledge sharing sessions at our office. We write blog posts, organize meetups and visit conferences.
• If you join us, you'll work on complex challenges for large client organizations (see our services page for an impression of industries and use cases). At the same time, you're part of a small, informal team of peers that knows each other really well, and inspires each other.
• At BigData Republic you can be the expert in the room, and at the same time learn something new every day from your colleagues. And most importantly, you can be yourself.
